Abstract: The embodiment is an L-shaped housing with a configuration that provides both for support to a small hand-held workpiece and to specific drill bit alignment toward the task of placing multiple, immediately adjacent, aligned channels within the body of a model car. To optimize car speed in the Pinewood Derby event, the child can specifically align and strategically place channels in the model car for the optimal loading of cylindrical weights. As an alternative to free-hand drilling with an attempt at sighting drill bit direction in two planes, the device provides for precise drill bit alignment to small hand-held workpieces. As an alternative to more complex drill jig and machine shop equipment, the device enables a child to safely and effectively introduce multiple, aligned channels with precision into the model car.

Abstract: The rotary tool workbench cradle embodiment is a structural configuration that uniquely provides dual panel support to the collar and the housing of the rotary tool, utilizing a V-notched, slidable and ratcheted back panel to incrementally elevate the housing of the rotary tool for horizontal positioning. Accessories mounted in the collet of the rotary tool are aligned parallel to the workbench or table top providing a more effective means for a horizontal placement of the cutting tool surface to be sharpened. The parallel alignment of the grinding surface of the rotary tool accessory and the workbench surface to which a tool to be sharpened (chisel, knife, scissors) can be held or mounted, provides for sharpening with more precision. Moreover, the device facilitates the horizontal seating of the rotary tool for the young and for amateurs. Both hands are freed to more safely and effectively secure the workpiece.
